Lemongrass Pork & Seafood Skewers (Salted Egg Seaweed Flavoured)
*in collaboration with Tao Kae Noi for Salted Egg Flavoured Tempura Seaweed
My hubby requested for a "less prawn meat" version of lemongrass skewers. Therefore, I reduced prawn meats to just 1/3 portion and incorporated fish paste and minced pork. I assure you that this version of Lemongrass Pork & Seafood Skewers (Salted Egg Seaweed Flavoured) is absolutely delicious. We couldn't have enough!
Ingredients for skewers (enough for min. 12 sticks) :
- 6 pcs lemon grass (slightly pressed and cut to halves in length - to be used as skewers)
- 1 packet Tao Kae Noi Salted Egg Flavoured Tempura Seaweed
- 200 gm deshelled and deveined prawns
- 200 gm minced pork
- 200 gm fish paste
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 pc lemon grass (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 to 1 pc red chili (finely chopped)
- 2 sprigs coriander (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- a dash of pepper
Ingredients for Dipping Sauce (optional) :
- 1/4 cup kaffir lime juice
- 1 to 2 tbsp honey or sugar (to taste)
- 1/2 pc thinly sliced chili

- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 sprig coriander (finely chopped)
Garnishing :
- 1/2 packet Tao Kae Noi Salted Egg Flavoured Tempura Seaweed

(tsp = teaspoon; tbsp = tablespoon)
Method :
- Trim ends of lemongrass. Then cut each to half length and set aside.
- Add prawns to food processor and allow to grind to half-paste form.

- Fold in paste mixture into a large bowl.
- Add Tao Kae Noi salted egg flavoured tempura seaweed and crush to fine bits. Mix well into paste mixture with hands.
- Use hands to roll paste mixture into 12 or more equal size balls.

- Chill lemongrass skewers with meatballs for 30 mins.
- When ready to cook, steam all lemongrass skewers with meatballs for approx. 6 mins.
